PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a color image pickup element and device for substantially solving the problem of generating color moire fringes caused by a periodic color coding array, for realizing miniaturization, low costs and color image pickup with high picture quality. SOLUTION: This color image pickup device is provided with a CCD image pickup element 4 having a random array in which a color coding array fulfills a prescribed color distribution condition, for example, a condition that any ratio of the numbers of pixels R/G, G/B, and B/R is almost 1, a digital process circuit 7 which performs color separation processing based on a random color coding array, and a storage means constituted of a mask ROM or EEPROM 17 which stores array data related to the random color coding array.
